Disabling IPv6 PIM Mode on the Switch
To globally disable IPv6 PIM-Sparse Mode on the switch, use the ipv6 pim sparse status command.
Enter the command syntax as shown below:
-> ipv6 pim sparse status disable
To globally disable IPv6 PIM-Dense Mode on the switch, use the ipv6 pim dense status command. Enter
the command syntax as shown below:
-> ipv6 pim dense status disable
Checking the Current Global IPv6 PIM Status
To view the current global IPv6 PIM enable/disable status, as well as additional global IPv6 PIM settings,
use the show ipv6 pim command. For example:
-> show ipv6 pim sparse
Status = enabled,
Keepalive Period = 210,
Max RPs = 32,
Probe Time = 5,
Register Suppress Timeout = 60,
RP Switchover = enabled,
SPT Status = enabled,
-> show ipv6 pim dense
Status = enabled,
Source Lifetime = 210,
State Refresh Interval = 60,
State Refresh Limit Interval = 0,
State Refresh TTL = 16
Mapping an IPv6 Multicast Group to a PIM mode
PIM mode is an attribute of the IPv6 multicast group mapping and cannnot be configured on an interface
basis. The Dense mode or Source-Specific Multicast mode can be configured only on a IPv6 multicast
group basis.
Mapping an IPv6 Multicast Group to PIM-DM
To statically map an IPv6 multicast group(s) to PIM Dense Mode (DM), you can use the ipv6 pim dense
group command. For example:
-> ipv6 pim dense group ff0e::1234/128 priority 50
This command entry maps all multicast groups ff0e::1234/128 to PIM Dense Mode and specifies the
priority value to be used for the entry as 50. This priority specifies the preference value to be used for this
static configuration and provides fine control over which configuration is overridden by this static configu-
ration. Values may range from 0 to 128. If the priority option has been defined, a value of 65535 can be
used to un-set the priority
You can also specify whether or not this static configuration overrides the dynamically learned group
mapping information for the specified group using the override parameter. As specifying the priority
